- I’m back with Day 2’s incredible gardens! We launched into the day at the Rhododendron Species Garden. From there we visited a private home showcasing the owners love for Italy. Next was an incredibly special tour… visiting the garden of Tahoma Flora’s Camille Paulsen! Finally, we wrapped up the day with dinner at Lakewood Gardens. Not pictured… I won a trio of amazing plants from Little Prince! 🐸👑🌱
I hope these gardens inspire you as much as they did me!

Good morning Kate, I have no words to say!!! The views take your breath away! So so much beauty in the stump garden and the paths with stones, water, orbs, mosses AMAZING 🪴👒🪴
They are STILL taking my breath away. I didn’t walk away from a single garden without inspiration. And now I’m home making a giant list of all my goals for my garden. 🤣
I dont believe I’ve ever seen such a beautiful garden as Camille’s. Breathtaking!
Wasn’t it?!? Her use of texture was so good and there was also so much whimsy! She is a top notch gardener.
You my dear killed it with this tour, don't know how you can top this but I would settle for more. Can't wait to see your back garden semi finished because as we all say gardeners are never done.😊
Thank you so much! And little by little my garden is coming together. I may fall a bit short of my goals for this year, but it’s all incredible progress nonetheless. Also, I just published another video today and Dan Hinkley’s Windcliff garden will be next week. It was an INCREDIBLE tour! I’m still pinching myself.
what a treat! Thank you for taking us with you. In June my husband and I traveled up to Tacoma from Sweet Home Oregon to visit the Rhody Garden to get inspiration from their stumpery. The back of our property is half wetland and the other half riparian woodland full of alders and fir stumps. We continue to cut or dig out blackberries as we plant native trees and shrubs with inspiration from our local forest trails. We have started to get more creative with stumpery style touches. The best part was after our visit my husband got on board! Two retired folks who lived our first 69 years on the coast have spent 7 years on a restoration project that has become a wonderful shared experience . You are such an inspiration. Because of you I sprayed my black metal park bench leaf green. My favorite project outcome this summer!
Yes yes yes!!! I love that you came all the way up to get inspired! And now you have a beautiful restoration project (and awesome bench!) that you share with your husband. I’m so happy for you. You are living the dream!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a privilege that was, thank you Katie and thank you to the owners of these properties for allowing us to be a part of the tour. I’m a prairie transplant from BC and this feeds my soul. I have vivid memories of scenes reminiscent of the stumpery. What mountain is featured in Camille’s paradise? 🇨🇦👏🌸
It fed my soul too… and that’s a great question. It is what we call Mount Rainier. However, it was called Tahoma by our indigenous community which roughly translates to “the Mother of waters”… which I think is perfection. 💕
@@HelloGarden ❤️💦☺️
Fantastic gardens, thanks for taking us along Kate 💚💚💚
My pleasure 😊
Beauty overload!! and the mountain view from the 'hideaway' nook, spectabulous!! TFS. the stumpery garden...the water features...pacific northwest prima perfection! my heart explodeth with amazement at the talent & care.
I am right there with you and thank you for watching! At several points I felt overwhelmed by the beauty and creativity not only of the gardens but the other gardeners/writers/photographers with me on the trip. It was a joyous moment in time that I won’t forget.
Your voice is so melodic and beautiful. Can you voiceover all the garden tour for everyone in the future 🥰 Also audio books and the sleep app🙃
We experience some many unexpected joyful moments when we walk the gardens through your eyes. Thank you so very much 😍 Hello from NJ
I would LOVE to record audiobooks! Maybe I need an agent. 🤣
@@HelloGarden wholeheartedly Yessss! My new power word is Spectacular!! I find that I don’t use it often enough! Thanks Kate 🤩
What a beautiful woodland tour.
I am so lucky to have visited all of these gardens! They’re truly spectacular and so unique.
Well now I’m going to have to rethink my whole garden layout / design now. These gardens are fantastic. Thank you once again for bringing us along and I’m so glad you took some time out for yourself to breathe in the experience, it must have been a truly special multi-sensory explosion of an experience at every turn.
“To participate in life we must experience life through our 5 senses, we must see the world, hear its subtle messages, smell its flavors, taste its sweetness and touch its surface” This quote felt very apt to gardening and to these tours
Oh that quote was perfect. As much as I wanted to record, I also wanted to close my eyes for a moment and just indulge my other senses. These gardens were a treasure and each hit me in a different way. And you better believe I’m already plotting my next garden move. 😉
Thanks Kate. 🌺💚🙃
You are so welcome! 🌱
OMG I'm sooo jealous,you got to see Camilles garden. When you announced thats where you were going I actually gasped out loud! I came across a video about it some time ago and have been totally smitten ever since. I've even tried to track down some of those glorious conifers in the UK just so I could shamefully copy and put them in my garden! So lovely to watch your video as you showed bits of her garden I've not seen before. I will definitely be watching it over and over!
It's so good! Just SO SO SO GOOD! Her use of texture and color was absolutely bananas. It’s also a garden that is elegant and refined, but also doesn’t take itself too seriously. And Camille is a national treasure. She is so gracious, hardworking and kind. She helped organize the Garden Fling and I cannot believe she also had the energy to prep her own garden. Of course she has also has a wonderfully supportive family who helped, but she is a power house.
Another day of absolutely beautiful gardens! All unique and all beautiful!
Yes it was! I was just jaw dropped the entire time.
Everything is so gorgeous! Words cannot even describe! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh I 💯 agree. It was almost overwhelming. I turned the camera off and took a second pass through Camille’s garden just to savor it in silence. Same with all the gardens. It was such a beautiful experience.
All the gardens have been amazing, love how in awe you are of everything. I’m doing the same. Love your channel
Oh I was in pure awe of what every gardener has brought to life. They were all so good! And thank you. 😊 So glad you’re here.
Flower Garden beautiful.. 😅😅😁😅😭🥰👍🌷💐🌺🌹
The most beautiful!
I really have no words…….💚🌿🍃. Thank you for sharing your experience,I will definitely rewatch so breathtaking, especially seeing Mt Rainier from the garden 🪴
I feel exactly the same. At Camille’s house, she framed the mountain so many different ways and it was actually awe-inspiring to see her creativity pour out for all of us to enjoy!
These garden are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!! Love them
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! I’m still buzzing from all of that creative inspiration!
Absolutely stunning 🍃🌸🍃
Wasn’t it?!? Just an overwhelming amount of beauty so graciously shared with us all. What a treat to be welcomed into everyone’s home.
lol, I had to laugh out loud when you added the Italian music! Where’s my spaghetti?? In Camille’s garden, I wish you would find out how long she’s been growing that garden? Must be at least 20 years and how many acres?
Oh I’d say at least that. I know she restarted her front garden after a giant Doug fir fell in 2015. The side garden with that incredible Japanese portal (her husband made that!) was started in 2017. It’s a total masterpiece!!!! Oh. And 🍝. 🤣
So beautiful. Was the first place a nursery?
I put a link in the description… it’s a garden anyone can visit!!! They also stock plants you can purchase and take home. It’s absolutely incredible.
WHOA! 😲
WHOA is right. My jaw was dropped all weekend.
Wow!!
I. KNOW. I mean… these gardens were spectacular. Friday’s video may have to be two parts depending on the footage. We visited Heronswood and Windcliff! I actually met Dan Hinkley and I’m still emotional about it.
Those flame azaleas grow wild in the Southern U.S. they are beautiful!
How LUCKY are you?!? That is absolutely incredible… the things Mother Nature gives us. 😍

💞💞💞
Where is this? Washington or Oregon? It’s gorgeous.
It’s Washington! Although Oregon is beautiful as well!
